Another outstanding night! I just saw Decades, so how about New Order’s version of said song live from MIF, or “Haydn” from Attrition
Great show to wrap up the decade Matt.
How about starting out the new decade on a somber note with Xavier by Dead Can Dance? Thanks!
Bob
For next week, how about….
Anything by:
“In The Nursery”
“The Essence”
“Cabaret Voiltare”
Thanks in advance
Great show last night Matt.
Happy New year!! xx
Thank you so much for playing Clair Obscur’s “Toundra” last night, Matt!
Request:
-C.C.C.P. – “American Soviets” (Original Mix)
What a great episode. Especially The Glove and Grinning Plowman selections.
I’ve been enjoying catching up on Eleven Pond. So glad you played them as I missed them completely back in the 80s. For next week, could you play either ‘Blood Ruins Film’ off their album Assemblage or ‘Watching Trees’ off Bas Relief?
Thanks again. Hope you have a great New Year’s Eve.
I second getting a copy of the last song of New Order: Decades ShowTime show which was New Order’s live version of Joy Division’s song Decades from the May 2018 live show in Vienna.
So, recently, someone suggested a show opener song, and you liked it and did it. I’ve got an IMO great idea for a show CLOSER. What do you think of “Sundown” by Jesus and Mary Chain? Failing that, I think the Joy Division-esque “The Intense Humming Of Evil” from the intense classic “The Holy Bible” by Manic Street Preachers would be a nice “wont hear THAT in USA” option anywhere in the show.
Great show, Matt! Really enjoyed the industrial touches on each hour.
Looking forward to the first show of 2020!
Decadent episode.
This week’s Darkness Award:
Robotiko Rejekto, “Rejekto!”
Request for future show:
Blancmange, “Game Above My Head”
(Extended or 12 inch mix if possible)
Hello Matt, forgot to post this earlier…January 4, 2020 is the 9th year since Mick Karn’s passing. Could you play My New Career by Japan and maybe make a shout out in honor of Mick? Thanks.

The Lucy Show – Ephemeral (This is no heaven)

Attrition – Dreamsleep
Carlos Perón – La Salle Blanche
Die Form – Martyrium 1 (the Lovers)

For next sunday, could you please play Depeche Mode, “Walking in My Shoes (greasy gonads mix)”?
Sorry, autocorrect typo there, “grungy” not “greasy”..thought not sure which is actually worse!
Thank you for playing my requests. Sadly, my sirius trial ended right before I got to listen to this show. I appreciated listening to your show though!
